Reviews

A full-throated, clear-sighted, well-researched and extremely well
written exposition of the Victorians and their values. Rees-Mogg's
choice of a dozen Victorian luminaries allows him to defend an era
too often ignored or written off in British history, and to compare
it to our modern day in a way that readers will find gripping but
also chastening * Andrew Roberts, bestselling author of 'Churchill:
Walking with Destiny' *
A fine philosophical mind * Matthew Parris *
One of the most important politicians in the country * Economist
*
Polite, eloquent, witty, well-informed, coherent, principled -
Jacob Rees-Mogg is the antithesis of almost every-thing the Labour
party stands for under its current populist leadership * James
Delingpole *
The best-dressed man in the House of Commons * Spectator *
